The Oprah Winfrey Show going to an end?



A staggering 24th season already..the 24 season started with a bang in Chicago with Black Eye Peas.



After 2011 ther will be no more..after its 25th season.

Lets flashback on Winfrey.

Winfrey started her broadcasting career as a teenager in Nashville, Tennessee, reading the news at WVOL.

Two years later, Winfrey started co-anchoring news broadcasts on WTVF-TV in Nashville.

In 1976 she moved to Baltimore to anchor newscasts at WJZ-TV before becoming host of the local talk show "People Are Talking."

In 1984, she relocated to Chicago to host WLS-TV's morning talk show "A.M. Chicago" - the show was became "The Oprah Winfrey Show" one year later.

She set up Harpo the following year and her talk show went into syndication, rising to become one of the most successful in the history of broadcasting.

"I came from nothing," Winfrey wrote in the 1998 book "Journey to Beloved." "No power. No money.

"Not even my thoughts were my own. I had no free will. No voice. Now, I have the freedom, power, and will to speak to millions every day - having come from nowhere."
